Reiki is a channeling of the life force that connects us all. This energy has many names including chi, prana and pure love. The transmission of Reiki energy is done through the hands of the Reiki practitioner. The Usai method of Reiki is one of the most well recognised forms and is passed from master to practicioner through means of an 'attunement'.

Reiki energy has been used by healers to generate a state of calm in the receiver that allows the bodies natural healing abilities to become activated. Hence it has been claimed to free the body from dis-ease.

Often whilst undergoing Reiki treatments the emotional or mental cause of the physical problem will often be revealed to the receiver. Reiki has a way of dislodging the harmful thoughts we have held towards ourselves and allows them to be released. People undergoing Reiki treatments often experience a feeling of 'journeying' as they contact their higher self.

Naturally the receivers willingness to heal is one of the most important aspects of the treatment's effectiveness. A belief in Reiki can also be beneficial but is not essential. The Reiki practicioner acts as the assistant for the receiver's own desire to heal. The body of a receptive receiver will naturally pull the energy through the hands of the practicioner.

After a Reiki treatment the receiver is likely to be in a more serene state and may feel a closer attraction to nature and the world. Sometimes the 'journeying' aspect of Reiki can produce profound thoughts about life and setting aside a period of introspection after the treatment is recommended.

Choosing a Reiki practicioner is largely an intuitive endeavour. The most appropriate practicioner is the one you receive the most benefit from. Most people have the ability to feel Reiki energy using their normal senses. This varies from person to person but overall the most commonly reported feelings are heat, cooling calm or a magnetic feeling. Overall the best practicioner for you is the one that 'feels right'. There are a number of practicioners and various methods, once again trust your own intuition. Being comfortable with your healer is essential.
